It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Mostly the worst of times. Individual experience, however, is based on perspective. BC was my last choice. I attended college basically from the age of 8 being the youngest of 4 by many years. My siblings attended Yale, Princeton and Columbia. Compared to those schools, BC was an extension of high school. It was rather shocking. In my opinion, the professors fell short. Be careful if you have an opinion. You will be criticized. I never met a professor that I felt was willing to help me succeed in my college career. It was too large to be counted. I met people I thought were highly intelligent, though I have not kept in touch with one. I deeply miss and regret the lack of a challenging, intellectually stimulating undergraduate experince. Unless it is a school that you crave to attend, please, please BEWARE. Make sure you have your armor on. In my opinion, not worth the money—not even close. Luckily, the 2 graduate schools I attended and earned degrees from, were fantastic and propelled my career, not BC.

And where did you earn your graduate degrees from?

And would you have been able to have gone to those graduate schools had you not attended BC? Probably NOT. Also, clearly graduate school #1 didn't do much for you either if you still had to go back for another degree afterwards.
